#pinkflowerday :: Pretty Soft Pink Bougainvilleas

in #petals6 years ago (edited)

I am feeling quite flowery this week 🌸🌺😊 and noticed some pretty soft pink Bougainvilleas in my neighborhood.

Bougainvilleas grow quite abundantly in tropical climate and they can grow quite tall as a tree. There are many color varieties to the flowers, ranging from pink to red to purple to yellow to orange to white. The papery like flowers are very pleasing to the eye, though we must be careful with their thorny stems and some say that they can be poisonous too. I especially like it when different color flowers are potted together. Bougainvilleas are said to be hardy and easy to grow from just a cut stem alone.

They can grow into a bush but some keep them very neatly kept by trimming the branches and stems as they grow and shaping them until they look like a cute bonsai.

Bougainvillea (/ˌbuːɡɪnˈvɪliə/ or /ˌboʊɡɪnˈvɪliə/) is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes, and trees with flower-like spring leaves near its flowers. Different authors accept between four and 18 species in the genus. Bougainvillea are also known as buganvilla (Spain), bugambilia (Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba, Philippines), bouganvilla (India), pokok bunga kertas (Indonesia, Malaysia), bougenville (Pakistan), Napoleón (Honduras), jahanamiya (Arab World), veranera (Colombia, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama), trinitaria (Colombia, Panama, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic & Venezuela), Santa Rita (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay), papelillo (Northern Peru), primavera (Brazil), Drillingsblume (triplet flower, Germany) or vukamvilia (Greece).

The vine species grow anywhere from 1 to 12 m (3 to 40 ft.) tall, scrambling over other plants with their spiky thorns.

Human debt to flowers is eternal. The flowers are coming to the delight of the beauty of the sun. When people decorate those flowers with the intent of their talent, taste and mind, their appeal is different. Ruppiyasiye man has repeatedly submitted himself to the plea of the Manoranjan of flowers.
